Metal Detection

The equipment most commonly used by the process industry for the final inspection of goods.

A metal detector consists of the detection head (or coil) and electronic control equipment that interprets signals sent from the detection head.

Detectors can be supplied with reject mechanisms that will remove the contaminated item from the process line (i.e. conveyor belt or pipeline etc.)

The main methods of ejection are as follows:

• Push/pull paddle
• Diverter flap
• Swing arm
• Air blast system
• Drop away/retracting belt
• Pneumatically activated flap/valve
• Special reject system

Total Foreign Body Detection

We are able to use our extensive knowledge within the processing industries to offer clients a full foreign body detection (FBD) solution incorporating the latest magnetic separation and metal detection technology.
